The Rates Act 2004 specifies how rates are determined and applied to parcels of land in the Territory, and also applies to mixed-use sites. The zoning of an area under the Territory Plan will determine the permitted uses that may be granted under a Crown lease. Typically, the use of a parcel of land will determine whether commercial or residential rates apply. In a mixed-use site, residential rates can apply to the residential component and commercial rates can apply to the commercial component. This is dependent on the titling that applies to the land, notably the unit title on subdivided land.
Responding to the data components of the questions would require an unreasonable diversion of resources. The information requested is not readily available. It would require the development, testing and running of new reports, the manual collation of data and a significant reconciliation effort.
